Memory in Death

(We open on NYZ. New York is a hollow shell of what it used to be, the Blacklight virus having utterly decimated the Big Apple and turning it into a nightmarish, post-apocalyptic hell. Blackwatch soldiers patrol the streets.)

Blackwatch Soldier: All clear.

(On a rooftop above... Alex Mercer watches the city below.)

Alex Mercer: My name is Alex Mercer. I'm the reason for all of this. They call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist... I'm all of these things.

(Alex drops down from the easily ten-to-twenty story height... and lands on the ground with enough weight to leave a crater beneath his feet, kicking up concrete and rubble in his wake. He's completely unharmed. He sprints and parkours into NYZ.)

Alex Mercer: Three weeks ago, someone unleashed a lethal virus in Penn Station. I woke up in a morgue. Now I hunt, I kill, I consume... I become. I'm gonna find out who did this to me. And I'm gonna make them pay.

(That night, the Blackwatch soldiers continue their patrol of the city.)

Blackwatch Pilot: Ghost Three-Nine to ground, do you have target in sight? Over.

Blackwatch Soldier: That's negative.

Woman: Help-! Help me!

Blackwatch Soldier: Freeze! Don't move!

(The clearly roughed-up woman runs and then trips into a soldier. A glance down the alleyway she came from... reveals a horde of Infected, who rush towards the soldiers like animals.)

Blackwatch Soldier: Walkers! Open up!

(Opening fire, they tear the Infected to pieces.)

Blackwatch Soldier: ...We're clear. Move up. You - with me.

(The woman from before, kneeling on the ground and sobbing... is shocked when a gun is aimed at her head.)

Blackwatch Soldier: Her too.

(Her life is ended... right in front of Alex Mercer, who was watching the events unfold the entire time.)

Blackwatch Soldier: That's him-!!

(Alex summons his claws and rushes towards the squad captain, impaling him. The soldier at the squad captain's side tries gunning Alex down, but Alex throws him into the air and then cleaves him in half. Another Blackwatch troop runs up to Alex, but Alex just grabs him and nonchalantly throws him into a car. A grenade launcher is lobbed at Alex, but Alex quickly summons his scythe and blocks the shot before vaulting over a car and slicing the soldier in half.)

(One final gunner launches a rocket towards Alex. The rocket explodes, leaving behind dust in its wake... and no Alex Mercer to be seen. The gunner runs up to a sergeant pinned beneath some rubble and helps him up.)

Blackwatch Sergeant: Where's your commanding officer?

Blackwatch Gunner: Sir, he's in Times Square. I'll call for trans--

(The gunner is impaled... revealing that the sergeant was just Alex Mercer in disguise.)

Alex Mercer: That won't be necessary.

(Later that day, in a Red Zone, Alex Mercer is confronted by Blackwatch soldiers, southwest of Central Park.

Blackwatch Captain: Saddle up! Move in!

Blackwatch Soldier: Contact! Open fire!

(Alex takes them out with a variety of basic attacks: punches, kicks, throws, slams, the works. He rushes towards Times Square.)

Alex Mercer: They took everything from me. They're responsible. And they'll pay!!

(The claws manifest, and Alex leaps down into Times Square to cause some bloody havoc. The tanks have to be called in.)

BLACKJACK: This is BLACKJACK. We're at the meetup.

(Alex shifts his biomass into Hammerfists and tears his way through the tanks. In no time at all, Hunters begin to swarm in and attack everyone and everything in sight.)

(Alex summons his Blade and carves his way through each and every Hunter present.)

Blackwatch Commander: HQ! Send in the strike squad!

Red Crown: Strike Team to Zebra grid. Ground Teams set up smoke, over.

Blackwatch Transport Pilot: Fully armed and systems tracking, over.

(Helicopters and tanks storm the scene. Alex rushes across the city and consumes the Commander... and feels a surge of power within.)

Alex Mercer: Time to end this!

(He unleashes a Devastator attack. The Strike team along with all the infected and military personnel within the tendrils' range are killed.)

(Some time later... Alex meets a mysterious contact on the rooftop, overlooking the scorched city.)

Informant: We have less than an hour. What's next?

Alex Mercer: The last person responsible for all of this... dies tonight.

Informant: If we make it out of here. Do you think you're ready?

Alex Mercer: I was made for this.
